One of the Decs stated they didn't want to add Jews to the Old Gods expansions (as Khazars) as that would just be half-assing Jews (aka, not the courtier thing). Don't have a link to the quote though, and I don't think it was someone high up like Johan.

I've never played the game, but I'm assuming there's some degree of financial management, in which case Jewishness is an underlying game mechanic.

That wasn't funny.

Wrong: it was a funny joke playing on society's preconceptions on race and/or religion.

Anyhow, I think it's much more reasonable to assume that paradox is staffed entirely by neo-nazis. In which case, it must be best to play Germany in HoI.

Well, if Paradox can completely remove all Nazi symbols from Hearts of Iron 3 and be historically inaccurate just so they don't offend someone somewhere (or so they can avoid a ban in Germany) then what's stopping them from omitting Jews? There's no Jews in any Total War game either.

Medieval: Total War Uno had Judaism as one of the religions in the game. They didn't really do anything besides being really hard to convert though. I think I know the point you're trying to make though.

All I know is that the Paradox team seems to have this bizarre obstinance against Jews that is applied to no other historical group, and I find that concerning.

The Sikhs and Romani are two historical groups that got a similar treatment, imo.

[LordSlowpoke]

first they pointed out how horrible, racist and eurocentric it was to not make a subsaharan nation as strong as france

now there's a debate concerning why jews should be implemented everywhere (let's not forget the point paradox decided they're not doing such things was hearts of iron)

why do you dislike their works so but just keep playing and raging about them i mean fucking ea is less bashed

How in Satan's glorious name did they twist the rules of logic and common sense to make that a valid statement?

[Graknorke]

Many liars here guys, so I just want to tell you all the truth. Norway is like a state, just like New Orleans and Wisconsin in the USA. Norway is the third largest state in Sweden, with 1,2 million people. I was born and raised there before me and my family (my fathers from NY) moved back to the USA. PLEASE thumbs up so everyone can see this post.

[LordSlowpoke]

can't tell if swedish nationalist or direct product of no education or just troll

does sweden even have nationalists, you'd think they are all jailed because nationalism = anti-immigration = racist/nazi in these books

[Owlbread]

They do indeed have nationalists. Of course, one must admit that once upon a time Norway was rather like a state (in the same way that my own country is), he's just about 100 years out of date.

I've also seen people say things like that about Canada and the US, that we're the "52nd state", because of the close relationship and the feeling that we're subsumed under them and not considered a separate country.

[Owlbread]

How many Americans have actually visited Canada?

That's like saying New Zealand is part of Australia; complete gobshite.

New Zealand is small Australia, while Canada is nice America. There's a difference

I'm a bit unclear, does everything in NZ want you dead as well?
